VANDE MATARAM ... 3

VANDE MATARAM ... 3

Please cultivate the habit of reading. This will surely lead to self-development which in turn will raise the level of culture in our country and, so, lead to national good.

Reading enhances knowledge, concentration and creativity. It generates ideas that energise the being. A civilisation is sustained by the availability of a large number of well-informed minds who can preserve and foster culture, and who can  take it forward. So, read and get ready for affirmative action in a society that desperately needs your participation. No wonder Swamiji had exhorted revolutionary Hemchandra Ghosh and his comrades-in-arms to take up the Library Movement as one of the four foundational features that he had made mandatory for them by way of rendering national service.
